DANIEL K. HAGESTAD, carpenter and contractor; was born in Norway, June
23, 1852; he came to America with his parents in 1854, and first
settled in Columbia Co., Wis., where they remained for six years, and
then removed to Beaver Creek Valley, Trempealeau Co., where his father
pre-empted a claim from the Government, on which the subject of this
sketch lived until 1879, when he came to Whitehall and was elected to
the office of County Sheriff for the years 1879 and '80. He is at
present Deputy Sheriff under N. L. Tolvstad. Mr. Hagestad built a saw-
mill on Hardie's Creek in Trempealeau Co. during the spring of 1881,
which was destroyed by fire about the time it was completed. He was
married in May, 1878, to Miss Maggie Hagestad, who is also a native of
Norway. She was born March 14,1860. They have one son-Carrol N. They
are members of the Lutheran Church. While Mr. Hagestad was engaged in a
saw-mill on Black River, at the mouth of Hardie's Creek, there was a
ball found in a log, while sawing it, which was supposed to have been
there fifty-four years.
